Seven years ago, I didn't think I'd still have the opportunity to write a review for Westbury Grange. Through the loving care, support and dedication of the staff, we've had seven extra precious years with our dear mother, thanks to:
- Thoughtful nursing staff and carers who have supported her daily
through illnesses and stressful times, including the Covid pandemic. The staff have also taken time to include us, the family, in her care.
- Participation in carefully-planned weekly activities (exercising, art and singing) which helped her physical and mental health. These were optional but available if Mum was well enough to attend. Patients confined to their rooms receive visits and activities tailored to their needs.
We've witnessed exceptional individual care afforded to all of the residents. When we left Mum, we had peace of mind, knowing her needs would be met and we'd be contacted if necessary. Westbury Grange staff, residents and visitors have become part of our extended family.

Our daughter has now been in Westbury Grange for eight months and in that time she has presented the staff with challenging medical problems which they have managed well with great professionalism which is a great relief to us. No other homes she has been in have managed her very complex needs. Every
part of her life so enhanced with the loving care she is given. The residents receive delicious food prepared from nutritionally balanced menus. The activities in the home are well thought out to engage with as many as possible. It is a happy home with a dedicated management team who make the lives of the residents as fulfilled and happy as they could be.

You hear a lot about the quality of care homes in the UK being poor quality and I can honestly say that my experience with Westbury Grange has been wonderful. From the moment I first visited looking for a place for my mother I was welcomed and was listened to. When mum moved in everyone was so welcoming
and she settled in very quickly. The quality of care is outstanding - and the food is home cooked, varied and excellent. The staff are caring and interested in the residents - and my mum enjoys the activities - which are really well organised and fun.

My mum came to need full-time dementia care following a fall and stay in hospital, which made it impossible for her to go back to living alone. The lady was so helpful and supportive during a very difficult time moving mum. All the staff are so caring and take their time, and Mum never feels rushed.
Mum has really settled wonderfully and is very well and happy. I have now gone back to being her daughter and my visits are lovely. I have been as well looked after by everyone at Westbury Grange as mum has been.

My mother is extremely happy in Westbury Grange. She moved from a Retirement Village with sporadic care and was lonely and depressed. She moved into Westbury Grange just under a year ago and her overall health has improved, she is cared for considerately and is stimulated as far as is possible with
her condition. This move is the most positive outcome I could have hoped for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Needing to find a care home can occur unexpectedly and is another complication that compounds already testing times.
We went through a very trying experience when a parent became ill but I'm so pleased we found Westbury Grange. It most definitely fits the category of a care home that provides compassionate
and effective support care for a dementia sufferer. The home itself is well-appointed, comfortable and very welcoming for residents and their families. The carers are all friendly, good-humoured and took the time to get to know me personally. When I visit, everyone greets me by name, including relatives of other residents at Westbury which makes me feel so at ease. Westbury is run by experienced, compassionate people who understand what residents and their families are experiencing. I'm happy my relative is well looked after at a well-equipped home, that keeps me advised of developments and works hard to ease the trauma (and occasional hassles) whenever possible.

My mother moved into Westbury Grange in January. The staff could not have been more welcoming in helping her to make the transition, welcoming her with flowers and encouraging her to take part in a range of activities that take place in the home. The staff have also shown her great care and love, identifying
any illnesses and making sure she gets the right care and always communicating with me quickly and clearly. I feel very comfortable with the care my mother is receiving.

My wife was in residential care with Westbury Grange with end of life care. Sadly she passed away in May. During her time there she was safe, comfortable and looked after very well. The staff were friendly and worked very hard. Westbury Grange has a homely atmosphere and you can visit any time day or
night. Also the staff were there for me as well supporting and praising me.

Nobody wants their mum to have to be in residential care but with Westbury Grange, we do at least know that she is safe and cared for. The staff are like family and treat her like they really care for her as a person, not just a resident or patient. People know her likes and dislikes and what she can
and can't do. Westbury is comfy and homely and although we still feel guilty that she isn't at home, we know she is in a good place.

Westbury Grange is a charming care home with exceptional management and staff who are compassionate and caring and seem genuinely interested in each and every resident.
There are frequent and stimulating activities arranged by internal and external personnel, and visitors are made to feel very welcome.
I cannot praise or recommend Westbury Grange too highly for the care and attention they give to their residents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum who is in her 100th year was having home care but gradually it became a necessity for her to have 24/7 nursing care. Having reviewed the care homes available in our area and taken reviews from fellow users who had or have elderly parents with care home needs we went with Westbury Grange. The initial
introduction and meetings with senior personnel went well and Mum was comfortable with what was going on.
Mum moved in the beginning of March and the nervousness of moving out of her home was an issue but staff in Westbury were very kind and Mum gradually settled down.
She has significant age issues and requires help which is always available both nursing and carers.

Mum has recently started staying at Westbury Grange. I was no longer able to manage her care myself and it is very close to my home. Mum has so far settled really well. She has a lovely room with a sizable en-suite and the unit is big enough but not so big that she would get lost or disorientated. The
manager, admin and care staff have all been wonderful and Mum’s care is fantastic. She is joining in all of the activities offered and is enjoying all of the food she is given. I have worried so much about this transition but Mum seems really happy.
Reply from Julie Roche, Home Manager at Westbury Grange

I would like to praise the manager and all the staff for the excellent care they took of my mother during her stay before she passed away on the 19th of October 2022. They made her feel very welcome and comfortable, giving her lots of personal care and love. They were always very helpful to me when
I visited, giving me very informative updates regarding my mother. I was reassured that my mother was receiving the best care and attention which put my mind at rest, knowing my mother was very safe, cared for and loved. I can't thank the manager and her staff enough and would recommend Westbury Grange to anyone looking for a friendly, helpful and caring care home.

My mum has been at Westbury Grange for several years now. The staff were amazing before Covid. During Covid, they had to deal with so much. It was hard not being able to see Mum. However, they excelled in her care and I really feel that they love her too. The manager, as well as others, often stepped
into different roles - chef, nurse or caterer.
Can’t recommend them enough.
It is fabulous now I can just go in unannounced with doggie.
Would book myself in now but not quite there yet.
Thank you to all staff who have and do care for my mum.
Reply from Julie Roche, Home Manager at Westbury Grange

Thank you for such kind comments, the whole staff team worked so hard through Covid doing whatever task they had to do to ensure all our residents were well cared for and safe and it's lovely that this has been recognised. We are also enjoying having relatives visiting and that includes the dogs being able to visit freely now. I will pass your comments on to the team.

Whenever I visit my mother-in-law I am always comforted by the cheerful, caring and attentive attitude of all the staff.
My mother-in-law is clearly well looked after and we are grateful that her dementia-related anxiety levels (which were rapidly increasing) appear to have stabilised and reduced

As I see it as a visitor, Westbury Grange is a superb care home. The staff are always welcoming, friendly and helpful. There is always someone to talk to, should I need to ask any questions.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.788)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.788) out of 10 for Westbury Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.788 for Westbury Grange is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.788
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Westbury Grange is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 10 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
